How can community-informed metadata guidance become practical repository improvements? In this guest post, LMU Munich shares how the PID Network Germany pilot supports better DOI metadata workflows through the DataCite Metadata Generator - a reusable tool for metadata creation and validation with integrated PID support: https://doi.org/10.5438/acdm-0120

Recordings and slides from the RAiD Global Community Meetings (20 May 2026) are now available.

The RAiD Operating Alliance was announced publicly for the first time — a global governance body of ARDC, SURF, SDSC, and the Digital Research Alliance of Canada.

Other highlights: SURF's Netherlands service launching Q3 2026, 605 RAiDs minted in Australia/NZ, and growing US and Canadian pilots.
